Using rare footage and scenes from some of their most memorable films, this hour-long salute traces the history and careers of the Three Stooges, from their early vaudeville years as part of the raucous act Ted Healy and His Stooges to their earliest shorts at Columbia under the name the Three Stooges to the succession of replacements for Curley—Shemp Howard, Joe Besser, and Joe DeRita—after he suffered a debilitating stroke in 1946.
